Bath Resealing for Botany homes
Bath resealing in and around Botany: a fixed quote from pictures, a tidy visit and a one-year guarantee.
- Damp near the bath
- Black spots in the silicone
- An untidy old seal
For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Glasgow and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Botany use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Bath resealing in Botany without replacing anything
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We are often asked to fix unsealed corners and black spots in the silicone, on shower trays & enclosures, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Resealing in Botany: why it matters
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What we are called out for in Botany
No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
Customers normally contact us about:
- Unsealed corners
- Gaps in the seal
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Black spots in the silicone

FAQs for Botany
When can I use the bath after resealing?
Normally about a day later. We’ll tell you the exact time.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
How long does resealing take?
Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.
Do you come to Botany?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Botany from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
How we price bath resealing
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Let steam out after showers
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
What we cannot put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
- Baths
